My neighbor gave it to me I kinda like it not even sure if it runs

Nothing like free bikes. Is that a bandit 600?

Nope, Suzuki GS500E

Great reliable little bike! It has the clip ons, which makes it an '89 unless someone switched them (which lots of guys do). It has a bit of a cult following...look for a gstwin forum, they are quite the fanatics about the bike!

Later.

would be suprised if it does not run, great motor on them very under stressed, ran for ever

Thanks you guys !!! I will tinker with it through the coming weeks see what I can do. I am trying to get a key from Suzuki as I don't have one. Not such a big deal but the seat the tank and the ignition use the key I'd like to see if I can get one. I have a title in my truck I didn't even look what year it is .

Did my last 14 years and 175k miles on a 97 and a 02. Put 80k on the 97 before it was totaled and have 98k and counting on the 02. Was still doing 400-500 mile Interstate days at 70-80 mph indicated on them to get to the mountains to play back when I was a kid of 70. You may park your Buell and forget it after you do a few twisties on the GS. LOL

The GS500E are great bikes to work on and fun to ride as well. Congratulations! And it looks in good shape too.

Nice looking Suzuki.. It is pretty cool looking. I like Honda a lot and am thinking of getting the Honda Forza 300cc scooter. They do 86+ mph, a well respected name, and are new in 2014. They cost $5600.. I like the Suzuki Burgman too, but the 400cc and $6700.

Those are great fun little bikes. They can and will do upwards of 110 if you are like me and enjoy testing upper limits of things.

I do enjoy testing wheel bearings but alas the motor is completely grenaded so I am selling the frame and title to help get me to my new goal, which I haven't figured out which machine it will be?
